I quit my antidepressants and anxiety medication because I learned to pray without ceasing. I learned holy hymns and Psalms to hum to in times of stress. I learned to focus and when a thought came in, I asked "Is this holy? Is this instructive? Is this pure and good? Is this meant for my sanctification? You can talk to God about anything and everything at any time of the day or night. Anxiety and depression is a manifestation of intrusive thoughts and lack of time in prayer. I now have an open line of communication with God 24/7 and I've been off the meds for 2 years now. No more panic attacks, no more depressive bouts and I've got a better (not complete) handle on my sins thru the power of Christ. Pray pray and then PRAY some more. Study your Bible, sing hymns, memorize good holy songs, and surround yourself with all things Holy and pure.
I quit anti depressants and it was the WORST thing ive ever been through. I have quit pain killers after breaking my back but it wasnt as bad as the psychotropics. It is scarry! I am a full time youth pastor the doctor told me i was depressed and take this medication. It was horrible!
